Matching Keyed Padlocks-1-3/4"W Laminated Steel Pin Tumber Padlock-Keyed Alike

The state of Ohio is seeking to procure six matching keyed padlocks with specific technical specifications through a competitive solicitation process. The procurement involves acquiring 1-3/4" wide laminated steel pin tumbler padlocks that are keyed alike, indicating a uniform key configuration across all six units. This contract opportunity, identified by the State Local Contract Opportunity ID 6822c770ddd7128ec7090618, was posted on May 12, 2025, with a submission deadline of May 19, 2025. The procurement appears to be a straightforward equipment purchase, likely for state facility or infrastructure security purposes. Potential vendors will need to demonstrate the ability to provide padlocks that meet the exact dimensional and mechanical specifications outlined in the solicitation, with particular attention to the laminated steel construction and pin tumbler locking mechanism.

While the solicitation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, interested suppliers should carefully review the full procurement documents for potential qualifications or enterprise preferences. The current documentation does not specify an incumbent vendor or provide detailed budget range information, though the relatively small quantity of six padlocks suggests a modest procurement value. Vendors responding to this opportunity should be prepared to provide detailed product specifications, pricing information, and potentially certification of manufacturing capabilities. The short turnaround time between posting and submission dates (seven days) indicates an expedited procurement process, which suggests that potential bidders should prepare their responses promptly and ensure complete compliance with all technical and administrative requirements specified in the full solicitation documents.
